I can't test the cpu on another board but I tested another cpu (same as the one used on that mb) but same results 0000 and the cpu gets warm almost immediately. I switched debug card, the second says: ---- Tester result: +5V: 4,91 -5V: -4,67 +12V: 12,01 -12V: -11,67 Debug card says: -12V On +12V On …

Since I can't properly explain what I did I upload a picture, this was the mistake: https://i.imgur.com/OfyDWOs.jpg As I said the psu immediately cut off the power as soon it detected something was wrong. …

I just ended up the round up of various SS7 cpus at 250 mhz. At first I wanted to use the Aopen AX59Pro but there is no way to make it stable using the nvidia geforce2 mx 400, so I switched to the Epox MVP3G5. Every frequency has been achieved at 2,5x100 (except for Rise that was at 95x3), I wanted …

You could be right. To be honest, I don't even remember starting this thread, so, so much for memory. Could you remind me where the charts are for that around up and what other benchmarks showed a benefit? There are some registers for the Cyrix 6x86MX or MII which may have been disabled in later …

Benchmarks at the same freq. are always the most interesting in my opinion. 300 MHz is a nice round number and you should be able to get some P233MMX results at 300 MHz as well. As far as I recall, the Cx6x86MX is the same as the MII, so not having the 6x86MX isn't a loss. I mostly agree to you, …

Yep, some cards draw too much power over the AGP bus. I just had to swap out an Nvidia FX5200 from my build for that reason. Put an old 128 Pro in there and it runs fine. That's on a Gigabyte GA-6BXE build with a P3 700. That would be an explanation but wouldn't be a radeon 128 pro too old for the …
